Coming off a year in which they dominated the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division and advanced to the Central Coast Section Division I semifinals, the Woodside girls’ soccer team is hoping to repeat that success this season.Winning became second nature to the Wildcats last season, as they finished with a 19-1-3 overall record, and undefeated mark in league play (12-0-2).However, with a very young and inexperienced squad, the success they encountered last year will not come nearly as easy after losing six starters; two of them to Pac-10 Conference schools.
